Talk:Television comedy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Removed This page replaces a redirect that used to point at Situation comedy. I felt that was unsatisfactory. So, here's a start on a proper article... from, I'm afraid, my woefully Anglocentric mind.
not appropriate to have such comments in the article page. Tiles 00:54, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Humor v Humour
This page has both the American and the English spellings of the word on it. What's the general consensus on language use in this context? Tuneless
- If I recall correctly the policy is that the english and American spellings are used according to the topic. So, for the article British comedy humourand for American comedy humor. Of course, that doesn't help us much here. I'm British but I accept that the enWikipedia readership is more usually American ... so if you have a preference forhumor I won't argue. --bodnotbod 21:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
- I don't have a preference (I'm English too by the way), it's just that the mixed use on a single non-language specific page seems wrong somehow. My natural tendancy would be to use Humour (given my nationality), but then if I was American I'd edit it to Humor. From any edit point of view I don't believe either would be wrong. However, they're both different and I was just looking for a little clarity on if there was a standard covering this. Tuneless | Talk 10:30, 14 October 2005 (GMT)
